Chapter 791 Female Assistant
Skylar dried her hair with the towel provided by the hotel after putting on the bathrobe, which was too big for her. As the collar was very low and Skylar wasn't wearing a bra, her cleavage could be clearly seen. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
When she saw Susan standing at the door, she invited her in.
“It's all right, Ms. Jones. I'm just here to discuss some work matters with Mr. Ford. I'm going back to my room now,” Susan replied politely.
Skylar shut the door after the secretary left and said, “I notice that you and Susan travel for work together quite often. Why do you always have to bring along a female assistant every time you go on a business trip? Does having a woman around make work more enjoyable for you?”
Oblivious to the hint of jealousy in Skylar's voice, Tobias explained, “Female assistants are more meticulous when it comes to packing and preparing the necessary for business trips. Men are usually quite bad at self-care, and it might be more troublesome for me to take them with me. Just look at you... You're neither a very good worker nor do you know how to take care of yourself. I have to spend so much energy taking care of you.”
Upon hearing that, Skylar swallowed her words. Initially, she wanted to seize the opportunity to ask Tobias to take her to Thymion.
However, given that the man had already made his thoughts known, there was nothing left for Skylar to say. Penelope was right. It was no fun for her to go there by herself as she could hardly visit any places since she was unfamiliar with the place and did not speak the language.
If she went with a tour group, they would simply be visiting the tourist attractions, which was not what she was interested in.
Gazing at the religious scriptures tattoo on Tobias' shoulder, Skylar fell into deep thought.
Indeed, no two people were the same. As Tobias had informed Susan of the time Skylar had to wake up the next morning, the secretary had gotten out of bed way ahead of time to put on her make-up and set her hair, after which she headed to the couple's room to wake Skylar up.
With Susan around, there was no need for an alarm clock.
Tobias had woken up early as well. Meanwhile, Skylar, the person who actually needed to wake up early, was still lying in bed.
Tobias pulled open the curtains to let some light in. Dawn had just broken, and the wind was howling. The man could not help but wonder when the horrible weather would end.
He nudged Skylar's shoulders and tried to wake her up, but she turned to the other side of the bed and continued sleeping. Tobias fixed his gaze on Skylar affectionately, thinking that his woman was more like a lazy piglet than a sleeping beauty.
“It's time to wake up. Otherwise, you're going to be late for your audition. If that happens, all your efforts will be wasted,” Tobias said after kissing her forehead.
Only then did Skylar open her eyes groggily. Barely awake, she stretched lazily and leaned on the pillow before saying playfully, “If only I got to sleep early last night. Are you sending me to my audition? You haven't driven me in a long time. You look so handsome when you're driving.”
“I've arranged a driver for you. I can't send you today as I have something on. If there's time, we might be able to have lunch together later. But I would have to drive almost thirty kilometers to meet you. I haven't driven a lot lately as my waist hurts.”
Based on his performance in bed, Skylar could not tell that there was anything wrong with the man's waist.
After her sleepiness gradually vanished, the cold started to get to her. Getting out of bed this early on such a cold morning is definitely torture.
Breakfast had been delivered to their room according to Susan's instructions to the hotel.
The menu, which consisted of sandwiches and black coffee, was customized according to Tobias' preferences. As Skylar did not drink coffee, she was served milk instead.
Skylar said enviously, “Susan is amazing. She handles everything for you so well. My three assistants are always having guy troubles. Penelope is the only one I have by my side now, but she isn't that capable, and she's also easily hurt by people's words. I always end up having to comfort her.”
“Well, if you like Susan, you can have her. She can be your assistant instead. I'm fine with it,” Tobias offered generously.
